This delicious Italian soup features tortellini, sausage, and lots of vegetables — carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper. The soup is enriched with beef stock and red wine, and garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

This recipe calls for shrimp, but can you use squirrel, rabbit, ham, chicken, or other game for this traditional Louisiana stew. It is delicious over rice, full of okra, peppers, tomatoes, onions, and celery.

Pretty and delicious, too! The combination of the purple cabbage (a little sweeter than the green) and the apples is awesome. The dressing is my Grandma's recipe. You will be sure to impress your guests!
